We Awake

In my head, we can play
We can waste the world away
We are fading from the day we awake
I heard a song the other morning
Said there would be no tomorrow
But while we hold each other here, I don’t care
Is the touch of her cheek on the curl of her hair
Or her smile like a window
Looked out a long time ago
Our city in sheets and a sun
That has faded from amber to sand
Now I’m ready to start again
The nights we awake and the times we pretend
And the city’s our temple released from a long time ago
In my bed, we can play
We can foil and we can fake
In our perfect place
I’ve found
I’ve found
